Issued by the Herrin Der Gastfreundschaft

in the year of our Lord 1959

"Liebe Leserin, lieber Leser,

Greetings to thee, the loyal readers! This missive heralds the forthcoming tavern night to be held at the esteemed Drunken Maiden in Minitz! However, mark ye well, for this tavern eve shall be centered around a special event. In brief, I find myself blessed with an abundance of ale in my newfound stock. Verily, I possess many duplicates that I am disposed to part with! Hence, I have devised a contest of blind tasting, wherein those who can discern the alcohol's type and its components shall sup for naught! There will be Seven rounds! Yet, for those who err in their judgement... they shall pay full fare for their libations.

Yet, fear not, for 'tis not mandatory to partake in such revels to attend the tavern night! The tasting contest shall unfold upstairs, whilst the customary revelry of the tavern night shall thrive downstairs at the bar! As customary, younglings are welcome, as we boast an ample selection of non-inebriating beverages!

All are bid to attend, and thou, dear reader, art encouraged to extend thine invitations! I eagerly await thy presence at this festive gathering!

This shall take place on the Sun's smile of 17th, 1959."

What focus-area of the Moderation Team interests you the most?

Game/server Moderation & Conflict Management/Resolution

Why have you decided to apply for the Moderation Team?

I have decided to apply for the moderation team as I have fallen in love with the server. My motivation is those around me and experience! I've considered applying several times before, but strayed away as I felt ‘too new’ to be staff in the past and I've made mistakes before regarding knowing rules as well - of course it being nothing major, and stuff other players casually corrected, it still threw me off a bit. Though through continuous roleplaying on the server, and becoming attached to In-Character titles, roles, positions, and so on, I've learned more and more about the Do's and Don'ts of Roleplaying, along with many general rules as well. For example, for the little principality of Minitz I've achieved the role of being a Tavern-Owner and event planner, through just these little positions alone I've had to handle many various situations, RP issues and so on. Thanks to it, I learned a lot of written and unwritten LOTC rules which has made me much more confident in RP and as a whole. My Motivation as well is I know I am active on LOTC and believe I could help out. I don't know where I’ll be placed, or what the future holds, and honestly - I'm willing to give anything a shot. Other motivations being friends I've met along the way, including friends i've dragged onto the server to play with me all the way to those I met through LOTC.

 Being honest, a part of the motivation to apply is contributed to impulsiveness, though I don't think that's a bad thing. If anything I'm using it as a way to help me write out this and to help me commit to something I've been thinking about for a while now. I know I have a lot more to learn, but so did everyone I'm sure who also applied. I'm willing to learn, I'm willing to be active, and I'm willing to help. All of this combined, Is my motivation.

What can you offer to the team?

Ill divide this into several points, mostly what I bring to the table with experience and so on! 

What experience, in general, do you have in roleplay?:

I've been roleplaying on Minecraft specifically since Lifeboat servers had Aphmau role-players and Amino was popular for about 7 years all together. I was also involved in Instagram Dr kgrps and on Discord I'm involved with similar rps as well and have been for years, so I'd say I have quite a lot of experience up my sleeve. If needed I have a google doc here with a list of every RP i've taken a part of on discord and Instagram, Amino, MC and others aren't counted as those stuff work totally different: The RP list ... I'm not sure if the link still works but it dates back to 2020 since that's when I started the list and began hosting my own little Rps. previous to that most Rps was through as stated before Amino and MC!! If needed, most of the insta and discord kgs when I first started were multifandom / Danganronpa since yes I had that phase and more recently only OCs!!   As for MODERN Roleplay experience? I do a lot of detailRP now on LOTC, and previously on a much larger server SRP. Now, I know SRP isnt very well liked on LOTC. I get it, I used to play it constantly and I'll confess it is there where I learned majority of my current roleplay habits. I always preferred to detail my actions out, really showing my characters emotions and actions. 

^ now, why is this important as staff? Well, I say this is all worth mentioning as a lot of staff on the server tend to be seen from a player perspective as intimidating, possibly hard to approach and maybe even difficult to find in game. In addition, staff often supply crucial help or assistance to many roleplay situations or events that players just cannot fully complete themselves. And for those reasons, is why having roleplay experience, knowledge and skill is good to bring in as a staff member! Because you can create a welcoming environment, you can interact with the community not just during events but casually as well, and you overall get to put yourself out there! perhaps even be a good role model to newer players who need help learning how to properly action some stuff out! 

What experience, in general, do you have in moderating and or being staff?:

- I used to be a builder and moderator for a very old RP server on bedrock called winter glove which was relatively small and from a few years back, obviously when I was much younger.

- I also was a moderator for a larger bedrock SMP named BoatsNBunnies which I stayed with for awhile til they did a major map reset, and I simply lost motivation after all the old stuff was gone after everything I built. I'm aware both are a bit silly and small in retrospect of the size of LOTC, I'm far aware of that, but I'd like to think my experience in RP and on the server itself can make up for it.

- I was also a moderator on the much .. more chaotic and larger server SRP, or School Roleplay connected with Roleplayhub. I was on their staff team however I dropped due to being sort of screwed over in a sense. Again, I am aware that many of the community members here dislike SRP, and again I totally get it and understand why after being on the staff team. But I do believe this is very valuable to bring to the table here for LOTC. But why? Roleplayhub is a community where the main Disord server consists of actively 15,000+, and then all the connecting official SRP discord servers easily have at MINIMUM 3,000. I was given staff permissions in all the main ones, and some community ran ones. As for the server itself, I have never seen it drop below 100 people and I have been actively trying to moderate on it with a max of 600 people one at one time before as well. As for LOTC, main Discord has about 6,000 people, and the Minecraft server generally usually has at most maybe 200 people. This means I have had experience moderating for a server double the size of LOTC in the recent past and have a lot of experience from such! 

Can you act mature in RP and Out? Can you stay unbiased during RP events?:

Yes, I can. I'll admit, I can be a bit silly at times both in character and out, but isn't everyone? No one is always serious and 100% mature, it's simply human nature. You can ask most people who've spoken to be out of character, I'm pretty known for being chill and easy to speak too. Why is this good to offer? Because as stated previously, staff partake in many events on the server! It's VERY important to make sure you stay mature to a certain degree and not to become Bias during events.

Describe your activity on the server:

For my Time zone I'll be active from around usually 10 AM - 1 AM on weekends and for weekdays 3 PM - 1 AM. As of right now I'm an active role-player, I quickly find myself in rp as either my friends are online, or someone approaches me. Overall, I must be active as of my server roles which I happily play by. I try to be as active as I can, I believe I have good time management as I've had to stay active on the server in order to keep all of my in-game positions! For example, my first 'role' was to be a Tavern owner, so I must stay active to run that .. then I became a Steward, so I assist in collecting taxes and assigning housing to people, so again more activity - And my most recent role is to be the main Event Planner for a whole area! the Principality of Minitz which is the role I put the most activity and effort into currently. I like to think back up my statements for activity.  I may have joined LOTC not long ago, however I believe my daily activity combats this along with my experience in RP as a whole. 

If you were the Mod Admin, what would you change about the server?

One thing I'd change on the server is likely some of the forum accessibility actually. I find it that searching for certain topics that may assist new players highly are not exactly shown in the best places. For example, there is no main topic on the forums that explains the server commands and or lists them all! Yes, there is an ingame command sure that allows players to look through commands, but even then, it doesn't go over all the less common commands and so on. I would likely put this master list under the Rules or More category and label it simply as 'Server Commands'. The reason for it to be under one of those two is quite simple: For if under rules, the server commands can be explained under how to properly use them for it to fall within the server guidelines. And it also works under 'More' as well, it's just another thing that could be added there. I know this is a small thing, but I and others have spoken about the forum page, and this is just one thing that's come about. Overall, as a new player it's just hard to learn ALL the commands, and its often embarrassing to learn a command through a silly situation in which someone is correcting you .. So, to have a full own forum page that's linked at the very top to one of the categories could be very beneficial! 

The next session of my application are not original questions, however questions I feel would be good to answer to show my knowledge and understanding!

Why are the server rule's important to know as a staff member?

All LOTC rules are important as it's what keeps the server at peace and safe for all players online. It helps keep the civil order. As a staff member, I'm sure no matter what specifically you are, you reply to tickets and help messages to well, help people! Therefore you must know the rules accordingly therefore you can help players with their reports and situations. If one does not know the rules as a staff member, it can lead to pretty murky waters and perhaps even ‘career’ threatening situations. Hence is why a decent amount of rules above were explained in my own words, so it's clear I have an understanding of it all. Of course there's also some unspoken rules of rp, however that's simply something one learns to not do through experience and overtime. I believe of course everyone slips up, I know I surely have several times but at the end of the day it's nothing to be too worried about, as long as you learn from it and remember for next time, if it truly was an honest mistake, it's fine. Staff also must know the rules as sometimes you'll be going to interactions or to locations to figure out the issue, witnessing people failrp, etc, you need to know exactly why you’d be warning someone therefore there's no loose edges that can be argued. Surely if you need help, you can refer to forums and or ask a superior staff member or someone who's been around longer for help, but for the most part if you know the basics I'm sure it'll work out.

How do you believe a staff member should go about enforcing these rules?:

I believe a staff member should stay serious and calm when enforcing rules, however I don't think one should be super uptight or authoritarian either. I think most people respond well to a calm approach in which they don't feel targeted, but instead spoken too. Though of course if the person doesn't listen and whatever the issue is continues, then yes, you take it up a step. Everyone deserves that bit of respect at the start as you'd be surprised how far it could get you.

Describe each type of role on the Staff Team briefly:

Administration: The Administration Team is the higherups, those who lead staff and make sure the server runs correctly. Administration works together as a very closely knitted team between themselves and others, and ensures that all members have an equal say in decision making. From my understanding, the administration team has no hierarchy system, meaning there is no Admin lead or trial admin, etc. As an Administrator, you also are not stuck with a specific role! Yeah, you may focus or have a favorite thing you work on the most, but you can move around if neeeed be!

Community: Where do I even begin? The Community Team is a major part of the server and is surely LOTC's backbone. Community team members does work not just on the Minecraft server but especially on Discord, Forums and elsehwere! They answer questions, help new players, you name it! The team also has their own small hierarchy system in a sense - This being Members, Managers and Admins. Its just as youd thing, Members do their thing, managers watch over making sure everything is chilling and Admins got the most 'power' so to say. In the Community Team theres specific jobs as well one can do, such as Pots and Pandits the Wiki Team, the Application Team, and Community Events - most of which are self explanatory

Moderation: Moderation is likely the most straight forward group, the moderation team .. moderates! To be more specific, the LOTC Moderation team focuses mostly in-game and strives to oversee situations, reply to tickets, assist in in-game situations, if need be, and so on. Similarly to the Community team, they too have the Members -> Manager -> Admin system. Moderation handles Policy Management, Conflict Management/Resolution and Game Moderation to be eeeeven more specific. Last thing I will mention is how as a mod you are expected - or at least capable of assisting in all the jobs just mentioned, however are free to focus on a specific one or not!

Story: The Writing crew. Quite straight forward like moderation, the story team members help with the story and lore! This is done by them helping host events, making + updating lore, approving or going over lore, and finding new ways for players to be more capable of doing their own events as well! Like the two previously stated groups, these guys of course also have the Member -> Manager -> Admin thing going on.
